RAISE UP is a vision for Uganda, Africa where Tom teaches for African Children's Mission. ACM has been in the mission field in Africa for nearly 25 years, and among all of the services provided, they are passionate about teaching and developing pastors to carry on the Gospel work of Jesus Christ and seed new churches in this remote part of the world.

The construction work for RAISE UP began in late 2011 and is planned for completion by mid-year 2013. The project consists of two phases: 1) a home to host our Christian educators while serving in a teaching capacity; 2) a Resource Center for study and training.

The Resource Center will house modern audio/visual aids, a library of Christian DVD's and videos, and book resources as in a Bible College library setting. Additionally, we plan to install computers and Power Point presentations covering all of the ten courses required under the Bible Training Center for Pastors curriculum.

SOWN IN PEACE by kathy

Traveling to the mission field is very costly these days. Tom and I have been blessed to have our church home, Lee Park Baptist Church in Monroe, help us financially each year to make the trip to Uganda. In order to help raise needed funds, I have started a small business of sewing and embroidery. The income from this is meager, but it is done in service to the Lord.

If there is ever a time that you think my work might be helpful to you, please feel free to contact me at:

OUR MISSION & PURPOSE

The last words that Jesus left with His disciples before He ascended into heaven was to GO and TEACH.

When Kathy and I go to Uganda, our schedule is completely booked. I teach and preach seven days a week while we are there, and Kathy conducts and teaches Vacation Bible School for the children. When she is not teaching she is on her bicycle going to visit the local widows and children and tending to their needs.

To GO and to TEACH were the very instructions given to us by our Lord.

2 MISSIONS 1 PURPOSE Serving God

Our mission is to teach, train and educate those who are hungry to learn and grow in the Lord. We do this by teaching here in the United States as well as in Uganda, Africa. While Tom teaches for Charlotte Bible College & Seminary as well as conducting classes at Lee Park Baptist Church, together we plan, prepare and teach in Uganda, Africa as well.

The people of Uganda are so appreciative of those who come to teach them. They want to learn - we need to respond to their desire to learn. Let's not just give them a fish to eat - rather, let's teach them to fish, so that they might eat for a lifetime.

African Children's Mission was started to provide help to widows and orphans struggling in remote regions of Eastern Africa. Sponsors are providing food, medicine, schooling, and uniforms to children for only $25/mo per child.

Every dime of a sponsor's monthly payment goes directly to the children. For less than the cost of going out to dinner once a month here in the United States, you can provide to a child in Uganda the very things that Jesus speaks of in Matthew 25:35-36.

Won't you consider helping? If you have an interest in helping the children in Uganda I urge you to simply contact me at:
